Oh yeah, certainly, the movie probably would have sucked without him.
So, on my journey through Linklater's work I finally came around to watching
Before the Sunrise and
Before the Sunset. These now top my favorite movies list. Both are so beautiful, so romantic, and the way both characters express themselves is so.. authentic, the spark between them is almost tangible. To me, the movies consist only of the "magical moments" Waking Life talks about. I like how Linklater's movies are about these human moments, about ideas and dialogue, about mutual understanding, about beauty, about dreams, but Waking Life had this tension, uncertainty, obscure (pseudo-)philosophic monologues, while Before the Sunrise and Sunset are just full of life and optimism.
